Coach Billy Donovan knows easy schedule means very little for Bulls

Bulls coach Billy Donovan knows the easy schedule only looks that way on paper, because at the end of the day his team doesn’t do easy.

It would be nice if Billy Donovan could throttle down, give 34-year-old veteran DeMar DeRozan a few nights of rest, and take advantage of the second-easiest remaining schedule in the NBA.

The problem is the Bulls coach knows exactly what he has: An NBA team that has shown it can run with the big dogs on any given night and also lose to the 12-win Pistons … twice.
